the fire crackling
as smoke snakes up ...
one family
three campfires and two dogs
on a night of silent dreams
Added:
back and forth
between midnight barks
distant gunshots
Added:
ice jamming
at a railway bridge ...
just one more
bear hug to remember
his son's cold body
Added:
slanted moonlight
through a crack in the blinds ...
awake alone
as my thoughts wander back
to the love long gone
Added:
despair
I murmur to myself ...
the weight of it
the way it sounds and feels
in the gathering dark
